Try using one with a kobra, now thats a pain.
It needs something to raise it up about an inch, but I havent been able to think of a good way to do it. |

I saw a pic here on the AK forum of a guy who had welded a metal plate shpaed like an upside down "J" to the arm of the folder.
It gave a the profile of a fixed stock where his cheek was, although I don't think the operating handle could be used when it was closed. |

I've been searching for a good way to pad my underfolder stock, and recently decided to try out a similar paracord method to that on the East German-style sidefolders. I'll post some pictures if I can get it to work properly. There's nothing to tie the cord around, but I may be able to work some knot-tying magic to remedy that.
Personally, I'm surprised that there are no aftermarket parts designed to improve cheek weld on AK underfolding and wire folding stocks. |

Any way to increase the length of pull on one of the Romy sidefolders? About an inch would be perfect.....
Thanks, Brad |

i have seen some 1" rubber military pads that strap onto the back of the romy/eg side folders
i think they were designed for grenade launching? |

www.fseusa.com/index.php?cPath=95&osCsid=06076a3cc740777c1d9b46417c447cdb I know my orig Bulgy is good, and these are supposed also be good for 1/3 price.
Raising the cheeck weld can complicate the right side control access. But the guy who welded a top rail to the AMD65 folder made it look good. |

Thanks bro! That's what I did. I like it better, it's not pillow soft but definitely better and it doesn't alter anything.

buzter,
I just got my first underfolder today, but I've shot my buddies' underfolders. They had the same problem. I suggested they go to a bicycle shop and buy a cross-member pad. You know, like the ones they use for BMX racing? They snap-on either side of the stock and it provides a nice, soft, cheek weld. They come in different diameters and lengths. It's cheap and won't scratch the metal. When you're done, just un-snap it and pack it with you. Works really well. HTH, Bud ETA: Just don't buy one too thick!!

Even with the paracord it's still a little spanky. I could see rug burn with extended shooting. I'm still looking for other options but, for now this will do.
